Event Details
This Mental Health Awareness Webinar presented by Kelly Hunt, covers all aspects of Mental Health, including problems that non-clinical staff may be presented with in their daily roles. As well as providing a greater understanding of Mental Health issues they face, the training will provide coping mechanisms and ultimately the ability to form an action plan to use in a crisis.
The training will take the form of a whole day course (with sufficient breaks). The delegates will receive resources via e-mail, which once completed, will be assessed by the trainer and receive a certificate valid for 3 years. Additionally each delegate will receive a student manual and access to weekly emails regarding Mental Health which would also include any updates to policies.
